Physician assistants in a battle regarding supervision

They are fighting against regulations requiring a certain amount of physician supervision:

The osteopathic group maintained at the hearing that patients do not get quality health care from a PA if the supervising physician does not initially see the patient and have on-site supervision.

The opposition groups say the two-year PA training, master’s level degrees and prior medical work does not qualify them to see patients alone, without the doctor being in the building.
